Seriously guys I'm flattered that this thread has become largely about me.
I'm open to the idea that I have some sort of specific Aaron Gordon related bias, but I'm gonna need some help understanding what would cause it.
I mean he's far from the only player that I don't value as highly as the consensus on the trade board. I don't value Zach LaVine nearly as high as the board. Or Kelly Oubre. Or Spencer Dinwiddie. Or Victor Oladipo. Or Marvin Bagley(though the board is really coming to me on this one.) Or Michael Porter Jr.
So is there a notable pattern there anyone sees? Other than I don't think they are as good at basketball as they are hyped to be generally speaking.
There are also some Trade Board regs who also post on this forum. They have my permission to call me out as biased if they are aware of any that pertain to Gordon. My pro-JJ Barea bias probably doesn't help my popularity on a Wolves forum, but also isn't particularly relevant. I also stan former Minnesota great Bjelica so maybe that balances it?
Odd that not me not liking a player would immediately lead multiple guys to bias as the reason. I can understand it from a Magic fan I guess, but wouldn't the more reasonable expectation that he would have a pro-Gordon bias as a fan than I with no connection to the player or team would have an anti-Gordon bias?
Anyway, happy to help you guys any way I can. Let me know if you guys find the source of my bias. I do take pride in my attempts to be as objective as possible and knowing is half the battle in fixing any issues.
Edit: oh yeah and if anyone is interested in my actual reasoning for not valuing him high I can share that with the thread as well, but figure that's pointless until we've established my level of bias....
